Good day friends,
My name is Diisgalaaxw but I also use Skyla and Gitxsan BUSHGIRL.
I live on Gitxsan territory aka New Hazelton, BC and I am grateful to Wilp Nikateen- I live on their traditional territory.
I am from the house of Gwininitxw, I am from the Wolf clan.
I am learning my true language. Gilkelst (Shirley Zornow) is teaching me. I will teach you what I know.
I love to make different things. I am always busy. I am happy and grateful that you came here today.
That is all for now.

I am learning Gitxsanimx and the more I learn, the more I realize I know very little but I will continue to learn and share what I am learning (especially with my kiddos).
I am ever so grateful to all of my language mentors, especially my Gramma, Gwininitxw (Yvonne Lattie) and my Aunt Gilkelst (Shirley Zornow). I know I have a loooong way to go, but I will keep trying because I know that this work is a part of my Soul's Journey.
Again, luu amhl good'y ii toyaxs'y nism wil baksim.
Gabiit (for real this time!)
